LONDON JOURNALS. [FROU THE moRNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.] [Morning Chronicle.] ORDNANCE.-11 is rumoured that the follow ing changes are likely to take place in the Ord- Dance on the arrival of. the Duke of Wellington to assume the situation of Master-General : Three out of the four Board Officers will retire, viz. Robert Ward, Esq., brother-in-law to Lord Nnll., , rave, M. P. Clerk of the Ordnance. Vice-Admiral Moorson, M. P., Surveyor-Ge- net di. Sir H. Oakes, Lieutenant-General of the Ord- IJAflee. - Sir Mark Singleton, M. P. Principal Store kerp'•r, who married the daughter of the late 'Marquis Cornwallis, and who has kept his situa tion under other changes, will probably remain. Lieut.-General Phipps, brother to Lord MO grave, Clerk of the Deliveries, M. P. will retire. • Colonel Chapman, who served in the Penin- Bula, under the Duke of Wellington, will pro bably retain his station. It is said that the Duke has nominated Lord Fitzroy Somerset, as his Secretary ; and has also named Sir George Murray, Sir J. Dickson, and Sir E. Harvey to situations at the Board. [Morning Post.) The recent appointment of the illustrious Wel lington to the Master-Generalship of the' Ord nance, appears in some degree founded on the precedent of the great Duke ot Marlborough, (the only Chieftain in the military history of this coun try whose merits admit of the slightest comparison with those of the hero of the present age) who, shortly after his signal defeat of the French and Bavarians at Blenheim, had that high and im portant office conferred upon him. [The Times.) We have received Gazettes from Cape Henry (St. Domingo) to the 27th September, and letters to the 20th October. It is quite evident from both these sources of information, that if the idea of making an inroad into the territory of Boyer ever entered the mind of Christophe, all thought of carrying it into execution is for the present abandoned. His whole care seems to centre in .the restoration of Fort Ferrier, constructed as a last place of refuge for himself and all his people, after the injury it lately received by being struck with lightning. We regret the despotic means employed for this purpose, the more to be, depre cated, as they furnish an argument to those who contend that slaves are not to be entrusted %yid) power, or allowed to establish an independent Qinvernment ; whilst, as a more definite and im mediate evil, the resources of the country are in jured ; the crops of coffee and other important produce cannot be gathered, not -can the mer chants find hands to carry on their commercial operaiions. Every thing (according to the pri vate accounts) was in a state of confusion and anxiety. Our private letter from Paris discourages the notion of a speedy revolution in the French 111 i. nistty, although some prospect is there held out of a change in the distribution of the Ministerial «offices, about or soon after the meeting of ihe Chambers. The Election and Recruiting Law, it k intimated, will be rigorously maintained by Government, as they are described to be not only conformable to the national feelings, but the pe culiar and favourite measures of the Ministry it- The accounts from Paris are now looked for %vitt) much anxiety, as the first two days of the month, called by the monied men the liquidation drys, are appropriated to the settlement of the speculations of the month preceding. An express which left the French capital on Wednesday, brings intelligence generally, that the liquidation has poseil over more quietly than had been expected; that the weak holders of stock had received sup port ; and that no failures of any consequence had taken placa.—(lbid.) UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. Oxyonn, DEC. 4.—Wednesday, at two o'clock, a Lull Convocation, the University Seal was affixed to an Address of Condolence on the me lancholy occasion of the death of her Most Ex cellent Majesty the Queen, to be presented on Friday, the 4th instant, to his Royal Highness the Prince Rea b ent, by the Chancellor of the University. and the Vice-Chancellor, conform.; ably to the precedent es,FOlished on the death of Queen Caroline, and to , tht arrangement sug gested,by Lord Viscount Sidmouth, in an offi cial commonication to Lord Grenville, as most agreeable to his Royal Highness the Prince Re gent. _ _ Wednesday being the day appointed for the Funeral of her late Majesty, it was observed in this University and City with' every mark of re spect .and solemnity. ' There was an no:versa' cessation of business, and every shop and house was shut. - The great bell at Christ Church, and those of all the different Churches throughout the placer, tolled the funeral knell from twelve to one at mid-day, and from eight to nine in the even ing. ill the afternoon Divine Service was an nou►►ced by muffled bells, and performed at the ()seal time in Magdalen Chapel, when the appro priate Anthems, " I am the Resurrection," &c composed by Dr. Croft, and " Lord, let me know my end," by Dr. Green, were introduced. At New College, a part of the funeral service was read, and a selection of music from the works of with appropriate words, introduced with admirable effect. The rest of the service, in both of the above Chapels, was chaunte'l with full choir, and adapted co the occasion. The Chapels werz crowded with the principal families and in dividuals of the University and City. Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at ti.e last India, House, when Captain A. Hamm- N sworn info die command of the ship 1: Lonsigneti to St. Helena, 13urubay, We received this morning the Paris Papers of Wednesday lost. The Moniteur gives the Proto col of the Conferences at Aix-la-Chapelle, dated on the 19th ult. respecting the postponement of the periods of payment of the sums to be liqui dated by France, which we inserted on Saturday The following are extracts : ast. " PALM, Dtcc. 2.—Yesterday before mass the Ambassadors and izoreigo Ministers paid their re spects to the King and Royal Family. " Ott the 234 died 'Tvulouse, a woman . , named Guillaumette Vincent, the widow . of Der nar Boulesquc, aged 104 ; she preserved to the last tie use of all her faculties, and particularly a good sight. " One of the wheels of the Duke of Wel lington's carriage, on his Grace coming to Paris, was broken, on the Boulevard Mont tnartre. llis Grace, in consequence, pro ceeded on foot to his Hotel Rue des Champs Elysees, accompanied by his first Aid-de-Camp, Colonel Hervey. His Grace declined a Guard of Honour which was offered to him. The Duke de Richelieu went to visit the Noble Duke yester day, but his Grace was gone out. " The town of Meppel, in Holland, has pro duced an example of longevity in the person of Solomon Levy, painter and glazier, who died the 18th ult. at the advanced age of 115. " From Tunis, the Ist ult. it is stated, that from 2 to 300 Mahometans died daily of the plague. The Christians and Jews preserved them selves from the infection. FIVE PER CENTS.

" FRANKFORT, Nov. 25.—The Baron d'An stett, Russian Minister Plenipotentiary, pro ceedetl this morning to Homburg, with compli ments of condolence in• the name of the Emperor to her Royal Highness the Hereditary Princess of Hesse Homburg, on the death of the Queen of England, her mother. His Excellency at the same time delivered to the Prince the insignia of the order of Saint Andrew. ' " COLOGNE, Nov. 21.—The reports several times contradicted, have been revived here, re specting an alleged negociation for exchange of territory between Prussia and the Netherlands, but it is said the latter Power will not consent to the proposed exchange. Prussia, it is stated, bad another project in contemplation for obtaining cessions , from the Elector of Hesse and the Duke of Nassau, in order the better to connect the old Prussian Provinces on the Elbe, with her new acquisitions on the Rhine, and in SVcsphalia, but it is said England will not consent to this, because it would interfere with her commercial route from Hamburgh and Bremen, through Hanover and Cassel, to Southern Germany, as the English merchants would then be subject to a tariff of Prus sian Customs Duties. It is only, therefore, a small district on the road from Hesse Cassel to Frankfort that will be added to the Prussian do minions. " RASTADT, Nov. 26.—The Emperor of Russia entered Carlsruhe yesterday evening, amidst the acclamations of the inhabitants. His Imperial Majesty is expected here this evening or to-mor row morning. " FRANKFORT,,NOV. 27.—The Empress Dow ager of Russia, set out from hence this morning, with the Grand Dukes." We heartily subscribe to the beautiful panegyric of our immortal Bard on MERCY, but Mercy to Individuals is sometimes injustice and cruelty to a nation. Such appears to us to be the case with the present King of FRANCE. He has suffered too many Revolutionists to remain in hie Country, and he sanctions the return of others. He is within the treasonable lines of circnmvallation, and he is drawing them still nearer. We have inserted the letter from our Correspondent at Paris this day, hut we view the aspect of affairs in France with very different eyes, and foresee events of alarming import ap proaching. Private letters received this morning from Havre, dated Ist Dec. state, " We ate appre hensive that some unpleasant occurrence will take place the latter end of the present month. Business still remains dull, and although money still continues scarce, confidence increases." THE FUNDS. --A considerable advance again took place in the Funds this morning. Consols. for the Account were done at 801, and a further rise is considered inevitable from the immense number of powers for purchasing stock received from the country. Consols. having shut at SO, bets to a large amount were decided. At the commencement of the Account large odds were laid that they would not close at that price, but the scarcity of stock, and the caution ob served in discounting Foreign Bills, is assigned as the reason for the advance. Three houses of great respectability, in the Manchester line, stopped payment yestcrdily. The total sum they have failed for is said to be to a very large amount. Lord it is said, will have the command of the forces in Ireland. Other reports mention General rAG ET. FOR THE SUN. MR.EDITOR,—The Gentleman who styles him self SCRUTATOR, refers your Correspondent to The Quarterly Review of September last, and he says, " be will there find MrfBELLAMY'S title to aft improver of the Translation." It is a great pity that most people are guided by Reviews, where every separate article may be written by one - man. It is evident that this Gentleman has not read Mr. BELLAMY'S Reply to The Quarterly Review of his Translation .; when he has, he per -1 haps will be of a different opinion ; and it will teach Mr. SCRUTATOR, in future, to hear 13,,th parties before he condemns : for I understand that his Reply has received the sanction of some of the most learned men in England. The Quar terly Reviewer charges Mr. BaLLAMY with saying that the Translators have erred in mood, tense, person, infinitive, imperative, part iciples, and Ffts sive, &c. The accused Translator acknowledges this,, and, proceeds to prove so, by producing a number of passages. In answer to which I beg to refer Mr. SCRUTATOR to Mr. Bel la»zy's Reply to The Quarterly Review ; he will there find the title of the anonymous Quarterly Reviewer of Mr. BELLAMY'S New Translation, ",fairly, candidly, and impartially stated, and ex amined." Mr. B. has there shown himself to be a Hebraist, and that whoever may have written the article in The Quarterly Review has no claim whatever to a knowledge of the language in which the Sacred Scriptures are written. This SCRUTATOR al.o says, " Mr. BELLAMY has the merit of making that obscure ‘vbiell was plain enough before." Let the reader judge of this whets he reads the • following passages, which I copy from the many in his Reply to The. Quarterly Review Numb. i. 49. " Thou shall not number the tribe of Levi, neither take the sum of them."—Exod. xxxiv. 10. " Such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation."—Ch. iv. 8. " It they will not believe thee, neither hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe in the voice of the latter sign." But in the follow ing verse it is said : " It they will not believe also these two signs."—bev. xi. 21. " Which have legs above their feet to leap withal•"—Numb. xix. 13. " Whosoever toucheth the dead body of a min that is dead."—Geu. xxxvii. 23. " They script Joseph out of his coat that was on him." Ver. 24. " Now the pit was empty, there was no water in it." These passages Mr. SCRUTATOR will see, if be examine his Bible, are too obscure to be under stood in the common version. But in the New Translation, they are clear and dignified, as may be seen by the following one, which has been evidently misunderstood by the translators : OLD TRANSLATION. 2. Kings, viii. 10. And Elisha said unto him, Go, say unto Thou mayest certainly recover, howbeit the Lord bath spewed me that be shall surely die. NEW MAN,SLATION. And Elisha said Go, say not to him, Thou mayest cer tainly recover, fur Jehovah bath spewed me that be shall surely die. Surely there does not require airy sense but common sense to show that Mr. BELLAMY'S translation of this important verse is 'right, which in the common version puts a lie into the mouth of the prophet. He shows that the Translators have omitted the translation of the negajut, ai►d thus he proves that The Quarterly Reviewer has not attended to the original in his examination of the New Translation. CANDIDUS. P. S. But, Mr. Editor, as the subject is or uni versal and eternal interest, it would be wise, can did, and just, in you, to give Mr. BELLAMV3 An swer to the Reviewer in your Paper, and to open your Columns as an arena for the Disputants on both sides. TO CORRESPONDENTS. THE BIBLE.—We have been so earnestly exhorted to perse vere in opening our Paper to the discussion of the merits of the New Translation, as a question of the utmost im portance to the interests of mankind, that we feel it to be our duty to comply. Our Correspondents, therefore, shall all be attended to in turn, as we have reason to be lieve that the Heads of the Church have already directed their attention to the controversy.—SCßUTATOß, on this subject, shall appear on Monday.—A CHRISTIAN also on the same day.—A FRI En* TO MANKIND On SUICIDE, sisal soon be inserted. .

PRIVATE AND AUTHENTIC CORRESPONDENCIA n tl l6 PAars, Nov. 30.—The Ch am b e rs open it 10th proximo, and to them the attention 0 ' a il parties arc naturally directed ; the opening S P ee i n of his Majesty will be most g ratifying, b e ° lie have but to pronounce the reward of virt ue) t l liberation of the French Territory, as tbell ailir ! g consequence of her good political faith. Ills Majesty and the Ministers, who have secondedb glorious efforts to secure tranquillity, and lay the . j bases of the eation's prosp e rity, in the evac uaritio of France, may behold the noble rneed of !beg labours.
